Femida Reviews

I recommend to buy it now while it's on sale and play after the issues have been resolved. Voted for this gem when it was going through Greenlight. There are some issues, but the devs update the game everyday. The story is great, but there are few grammatical errors.

quirky little title with multiple endings and seriously difficult choices to make....buggy though

This is the best court simulation ever! The story is even better. It's really satisfying to see how your decisions impact the world and the plot. The devs keep polishing the game. The bugs and errors are getting fixed.

Interesting litigation cases. Non-trivial. I think I was a fair judge. I hope...) The game will tell you ;) And of course, this is not just a simulator, here is a very good main story!

The game and the DLSs are worth every penny! Each case in the game is deep and raises important questions about morality. Most of the game is reading, btw. No bugs for me. I will certainly come back to play it again later to get all the endings. 10 winning court rulings/10

Why there is no russian language support? I guess the script was translated from russian to english, but why there is only english version? Also, there are some grammatical mistakes, bad styling, UI design is not so good. I hope you will continue working on this project, because present state of the product is not satisfactory for me.

Honestly, this is the kind of game that looks really cool, then you get into it and it's kind of crap, but then you keep playing it anyway because it's short and still interesting. It's just an obscure little weird Russian game that feels like it was made on a shoestring budget and didn't spend enough time in the oven, but it's got a lot of heart to it and if you can overlook the fact the writing is sloppy and typos and grammar mistakes abound, it's worth a look. Even when cookies don't bake long enough, the dough is still tasty.

Fun if you enjoy reading a lot, but the game is buggy, and the UI feels like an old point-and-click game. The story is great. Make sure to save often and use multiple slots.

This game looks and sounds like a free to play web game (very 2000s newgroundsy to me.) But, it's on steam and costs money for some reason. The writing and dialogue is pretty awful. Lots of typos just literally everywhere, and trying to ignore that. The content of the writing itself just isn't very good. As the writing is pretty key to this game, this makes it a pretty bad game. If you ignore the bad writing (for a story focused dialogue game,) the game mechanics are also pretty bad and tedious. It feels a bit like they stole some of the game mechanics from other similar games without being aware of what made those games good or fun. Maybe that's why I get the vibe of web game that someone stuck a price tag on. Though the audio very much clinches this for me as it's that annoyingly repetitive type most of these games have (probably free.) I tried giving this game a second chance, then I realized the main mechanic for the court scene was just remembering which dialogue trees make the court angry and avoiding those. There was a few other mechanics but they seemed about as lazy as that. To say something nice, I was fine with the art style, though it did seem a bit like wikihow art. I saw mention that there could be issues from the translation, but I don't think that fits all the issues it has or gives it a pass from criticism (really unsure how it has positive feedback at all myself.) Either way if that's taken to be the case as a valid reason (I'm not going to look further into it as I've wasted enough of my life on this game.) Probably rather than doing a poor translation, it'd be better to pay someone to do it properly and raise the price of the game to cover that I suppose really. Though even with a proper translation the story content itself seemed pretty meh, and the game mechanics were just lame/lazy it seemed to me.

I was a little taken aback by the reviews of Femida that talked about the bad translation. That was naive on my part, because the whole game is reading and there's clearly so much built into the nuances of your decisions, but all of the finer points are lost in translation.
